The museum is now open to the public!

In loving dedication to Miss. Charles Emily Wilson

The objective of the Seminole Negro Indian Scout Museum is to preserve the history of the Black Seminoles and our descendants and to bring it to the public. It tells the story of how we came to be and who we are today. The museum was originally created in 2010, but it was only opened during Seminole Days in September. In 2015 the museum was rearranged to open its doors to the public every week.

Most historical information has been excerpted from articles by Katarina (Kato) Wittich.


Hours: Saturdays 1-4pm
Admission: $5

Carver School. 506 Beaumont, Brackettville TX

Admission fees and donations will be used for the maintenance of the museum and the cemetery. The Seminole Negro Indian Scout Cemetery Association can only be sustained by your continued involvement. Any stories, photographs, or other memorabilia will be happily accepted and lovingly cared for.


The museum consists of 9 sections: 
  1. The history of how Black Seminoles came to be and their multiple trajectories across territories, including Florida, Indian Territory, Mexico, and Texas.
  2. The military period of the Seminole Negro Indian Scouts.
  3. Families and their living conditions.
  4. Carver School and a dedication to Miss Charles Emily Wilson.
  5. Seminole celebrations, including Juneteenth and Seminole Days.
  6. The Seminole Camp and artifacts found there.
  7. The cemetery section honors descendants that have passed away, including the four Medal of Honor recipients.
  8. Newspaper articles and documents about the Seminoles.
  9. El Nacimiento: Family pictures and an exhibit of Juneteenth by Mexican photographer Dzilam Méndez.
